Well, I knew about the a-a, but I thought the stress was on
the second a. Like sa-A-la-ngal /sa''alaNal/. Now I know better...
(The first ' is stress, the second ' is a glottal stop. :)
Oh, and {ng}, is that a velar or a palatal nasal? I read somewhere
that {ng} is palatal in Tagalog. Is that right? And please tell
me that Tagalog is pronounced /ta'galOg/...
